Some states could soon be competing for a Yuengling brewery. The Pottsville beermaker is considering a new brewery outside Pennsylvania for business reasons, according to an article from The Patriot-News.

With a move into Ohio last year, D.G. Yuengling & Son's sales rose to about 2½ million barrels - enough to overtake Boston Beer Co.'s Samuel Adams brands, according to the article.
